Still the typical Sony skin with lots and lots and lots of UI bugs. The lockscreen is the absolute worst when it comes to the X series, whoever came up with the idea of having the fingerprint sensor being able to unlock the phone without a registered fingerprint should be fired.
It's clear and looks nice. Performs well. I've tried 6.0.1 and 7.1 and 7.1 is more fluent. But I can't use that as Bluetooth on 7.1 won't work with car.
Not a huge fan of the curved or 2.5D curvature on the side edges on the screen since it doesn't allow for a proper fitting tempered glass, Z3C aesthetics was my favorite since phone tallness was smaller

Great, close to stock. Still lacking in features compared to most other OEMs and updates are very few and far between. Still on a july security patch.
Probably the dumbest part of the skin is that you can't set the homescreen to the middle. No, the damned thing has to be on the most LEFT panel. What are you? An iPhone? Half the reason I bought an android was to set the homescreen to the center.

It uses the Google Now Launcher, which as the name implies keeps Google Now easily accessible with a single swipe from the homescreen. You can always install Nova launcher or another customizable google now-esque launcher and have the home screens setup like you want (which nova does by default)

Somehow, the phone does not feel as solid as I'd like it to. Coming from the "plastic" Note 2 which I feel is sturdy and solid (dropped it many times and no issues), with the honor 8 Pro, I feel like I have to baby it, otherwise it might get scratches, especially the metal back.
Impeccably designed and built. Just one niggle, the volume button and power button wobble a bit.

It saddened me a bit that they ditched the glass back panel for a metal one.
The best build .
I will tell this is the best ,solid Designed.
glassy design was ditched but thats not a concern as we have a good design here and nothing to miss.
really a good build.no complain
One of the best built phones I have ever come across. It's sturdy as heck and the weight is just perfect for it to feel expensive in the hand. No hollow aluminum design here. Nothing at all to complain about.
premium material used in building this device
Really premium build.

Simple, effective, perfect.
Not great but this is not unexpected for a pure Android. Comes with almost no software at all and you have to go find this or that app. Doesn't play well with my car's Bluetooth connection. Would be nice if more apps used the entire screen. Customization less than stellar.

I had problems with my car's bluetooth. What fixed it for me was to go into Settings -> Battery -> Battery Optimization from the menu. Switch to "All Apps" and set Bluetooth MIDI Service and Bluetooth Share to "Not Optimized". Works perfectly now.
The skin will affect the gig wireless connection, e.g. 360 camera and future peripherals. We're not talking about the pogo pin power connectors here. I'll avoid it if I can.

you are talking abou a skin protector. This thread is about the User Interface skin over Android OS
Just jumped ship from a Nexus 6P and I don't feel like I've missed a beat besides going back in time a month to before Oreo. However the scrolling jitter is a big smudge on the usability. If/when that gets fixed, it should be great.
I agree.

Under 200$, you expect premium ?
6.44 screen ?
4gb RAM ?
5300 battery ?
not possible, but Xiaomi comes close..
Doesn't feel premium, doesn't fell cheap either...
it will be ok it is middle range phone, so i will buy it soon?
Quality is actually pretty decent! There are no sharp edges and considering slim design phone is quite durable!
Superb Quality - like a phone for at least 400$. Recommend for all "big screen" users.
A poll would suit this thread better i guess.. XD

I thought I would hate it. I've used either stock or near-stock Android for the last 5 years, starting with the Nexus 5 then the OnePlus 1, 3T and 6.
And I did at first. The bloatware, the bloat-processes. It was annoying having to "clean" the phone up. But I got over it. Looking forward to OneUI.
I still prefer the clean and simple look of stock Android. But I have no issues with Samsung's skin.
